Locked-in syndrome or LIS, is a condition in which the patient is aware, but can not move or communicate verbally due to the almost complete paralysis of all voluntary muscles of the body, except the eyes. The term for this disorder was given by Fred Plum and Posner Jerome in 1966.

Trapped in a shape, a situation with no ways of escape, a restriction that is suffocating, reaches the limits of the will and leads to physical and emotional inertia.

The art project, aims to explore the encapsulation in a personal, social and political level.
